User Comments: Informative and factual, with basic modifications explained. This book is easy to understand for someone who is already and experienced personal trainer or instructor looking to expand client base. Unfortunately, as is the case with most computer-based exercise classes, quiz emphasis is always on numbers, with very few questions concerning "real-life" circumstances i/c/w programming.

Thank you!

User Comments:

I thought it was a great course very informative. I notice others have suggested more exercises should have been included, but I don't think that is completely necessary. The book already outlines a number of stretches and basic exercises that are safe & effective for pregnant/postpartum women, in addition to listing out activities and weight-bearing exercises that are appropriate (though diagrams are not included). As a personal trainer you should be able to look these up, or refer to them in your materials - if you don't already know them. Great course, easy to understand, quick read.

Thank you!

This course has some good information in it for the trainer with limited background in pre and post-natal fitness. The book provides some exericse examples, but I was hoping for a few more examples (which I'm sure can be found online). Overall, it was a good course.

Thank you!

I received both the book and the DVD, however, I wouldn't recommend the DVD - it was helpful to see information (would be even better to be able to download the slides!). The book is the most important, I wish I had known that and saved the money.

ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for the helpful feedback on the DVD and slides!

There was good information in this module, however it lacked the tools for applying the information. Just as the ACE IFT model aimed to address confusion surrounding program design, I would have felt better about the information I learned if there was better information on how to apply it. Being pregnant myself, I still find that I am uncertain and wary of what I can or cannot do which may affect the baby. Greater focus on practical application would make this module much more valuable.

ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for your helpful feedback. We will look into incorporating more practical components.

User Comments: Great course and very valuable information regardless of your specialty. However, there is a contradiction of information that happens to also be a TEST QUESTION.
Test Question Number 13: has TWO CORRECT answers if your going off the ACE provided DVD, but only one correct answer if going off the ACE provided book.(The book and DVD contradict one another) Obviously theres a mistake made on the DVD or Book and needs to be corrected, especially being a test question.
The contradiction can be seen on the chart/slide/table if you forward the DVD to the DVD counter- 36:58 and within the accompanying book on page 37.

Thank you!
